(By: Gagan Anand, Founder, Scuzo Ice ‘O’ Magic) Holi is the festival of colours which is India's most colourful and joyful celebration. Characterised by innocent splashes of colours, merry get-togethers, and yummy sweets, Holi unites people to rejoice at love, togetherness, and spring's arrival. No Indian celebration is complete without feasting on traditional fare, and Holi is no exception.
Amongst the various goodies made for the celebration, Gujiya has a special status. Gujiya is a fried pastry filled with an opulent stuffing of mawa (khoya), dry fruits, and coconut, flavored with cardamom. This golden, crispy treat is a staple in every home during Holi.
While the classic Gujiya remains an all-time favorite, food enthusiasts are now experimenting with new and innovative versions, giving a modern twist to this traditional sweet. One such creative fusion is Gujiya Gelato, a delightful combination of Indian and Italian flavours. Gujiya Gelato transforms the flavour of Gujiya and mixes it into a creamy, smooth gelato, presenting an indulgent yet refreshing festival dessert.
Served on its own as a dessert or accompanied with hot Gujiyas, this innovation is sure to amase your guests..
